Very early onset schizophrenia (VEOS) is a chronic and debilitating psychiatric disorder and has received too little attention in the research literature. Previous studies suggested that VEOS tended to have a worse prognosis and outcome than adult onset schizophrenia. Autism spectrum disorder (OSD) is a life-long impairing heterogeneous disorder, characterized by severe and pervasive impairments in multiple areas of psychological development. According to the literature, co-occurrence of OSD and VEOS is a very rare condition. This paper reports on a case diagnosed as OSD with a VEOS comorbidity. This paper aims to review these two psychopathologies differantial diagnosis, common and different clinical features, neuroimaging findings and genetic and environmental etiologies in the light of the literature.
